Detective Cheng stood there looking at the B-Movie covers "Dracula's Revenge" and "Night of the Vampire". He then looked up to see that An Jian and Li Zhao had slowly moved together in unison to the leather sofa and sat down on opposite sides.
The Detective read the back covers of the DVDs then realize the room was silent. He looked up again and saw that An Jian and Li Zhao had not moved since sitting down, were they angry at each other, he thought and walked over to investigate. An Jian and Li Zhao both had there head down with there bangs hiding their faces. The Detective bent down some more too look at An Jian's face "An Jian, wake up, can you hear me?" An Jian then without opening her eyes "I just need to rest a little, I'll be fine" and passed out again. Detective Cheng lifted An Jian into his arms and rushed out of the compound telling Wang Yi, he should check on Li Zhao as well.
An Jian woke up in a dark room with machines softly beeping. It took a while for her eyes to focus but when she looked over, there was a view of the city and silhouette of someone sitting by the window. When her eyes fully focused, she could see it was Detective Cheng with his eyes closed. He had a handsome jawline, full lips and a masculine face but slept with a gentle face. An Jian then caught herself thinking about these useless thoughts and remembered Li Zhao had said An Hao was still alive and had placed some boxes with paintings of monsters. It seemed the Detective knew what they were. An Jian tried to sit up and could feel a slight pain in her chest but she pushed through it and sat up. She then realized she was in some kind of a gown with her arm connected to tubes with a small clip on her finger. An Jian then scanned the room for her armour but it was no where to be found.
An Jian figured it wasn't worth spending time here as she was use to healing from injuries using internal energy and started removing the tubes from her arm and pulled off the clip which then caused the beeping machine to go into a long beep which woke up Detective Cheng. He jumped up seeing An Jian out of bed "You're awake! How are you feeling? Are you hurt?" He then noticed An Jian had pulled off the IV and the heart rate monitor was going off . "What are you doing, you need more rest". An Jian put on a smile and slid off the bed onto the floor and stretched showing she was ok, but frowned when certain movements did hurt, but she tried to put on a strong face and a smile for the Detective. "I'm fine, just needed a little rest, lets go see Li Zhao"
Detective Cheng raised an eyebrow seeing the deceit of An Jian. "Li Zhao was quite injured as well, I don't think he is ready to talk either". An Jian then walked with her arms behind her back with her chin up like she was perfectly fine "How about the painted boxes, Li Zhao placed on the table, you know what those are?".
Detective Cheng with a stern face unhappy An Jian wasn't taking her recovery seriously "You mean the movies, we can watch them after you get more rest".
A nurse suddenly came in and turned off the heart rate monitor. "Miss An, it would be best to take your boyfriend's advice and rest a couple more days in bed".
An Jian about to her open her mouth to correct the nurse but then Detective Cheng coughed "We are just friends"
The nurse smiled then looked to An Jian "Well you should take the advice of this beautiful young man and stay in bed"
An Jian smiled "I'm fine! Look!" and started doing jumping jacks and running in place. "Take me home Detective, I mean back to your place"
The nurse looked at the Detective suspiciously smiling thinking these two were definitely together or going to get together if they didn't know it yet.
Detective Cheng sternly "Really? You are feeling ok?".
An Jian performed more stretches putting her arms up in the air moving her upper torso side to side, putting on a smile to show she was fine. "Let's go, I want to watch those movies"
Detective Cheng nodded to the nurse then placed his old T-shirt and sweat pants into An Jian's hand and closed the curtain blocking her out of view. "Change into those, your armor is at my place right now"
An Jian came out wearing the Detective's old clothes and kept up the energetic act and nodded to the nurse, dragging Detective Cheng by his arm out of the room.
The nurse stood there watching the bubbly An Jian drag the tall brooding Detective out of the hospital, envying the handsome couple like a scene from a romantic comedy.
